Chapter 221 Electromagnetic Coil Gun
"Professor, the stability of electromagnetic coil cannons..."
A trace of worry flashed in Yevgeny's eyes and said to Lu Yongchang: "The interstellar war has extremely high requirements for accuracy."
"Even if there is a slight change in the direction of the projectile launch, it will cause great errors in the end!"
Lu Yongchang nodded.
He naturally knew this, which was also the reason why he chose the electromagnetic rail gun at the beginning.
The slightest mistake is a thousand miles apart. This sentence is the most suitable for describing interstellar wars.
Even a deviation of one micron can cause errors of dozens or even hundreds of kilometers!
After all, electromagnetic guns are not like missiles, which can adjust directions in real time.
In space, projectiles without abnormal conditions will only travel in a straight line.
Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, turned his head to Ling and asked, "Zero, can you complete this part of the work?"
“…”
After a brief wait, he responded in a dull voice: "Professor, the experimental data is insufficient and it is impossible to judge."
"I need a lot of experimental data to perfect the algorithm."
Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.
If there is no direct rejection, it seems that there is still a chance!
...
2037.7
Two months after the Starship Weapon System R&D project was launched.
A gun barrel with a diameter of more than 30 meters and a diameter of 1.2 meters is lying quietly in the factory in Mars City.
Next to the barrel is a huge base and various parts.
Lu Yongchang stood beside the gun barrel, reached out and gently brushed the cold gun barrel, and a touch of emotion appeared in his eyes.
"Professor." Yevgeny's excited voice came from the side, "When will we test its power?"
Unlike Lu Yongchang, Yevgeny had only one idea about this giant cannon at this time - when can I try the effect when can I fire a shot?
Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked at Yevgeny, whose face was full of excitement, and shook his head with black lines: "What are you thinking?"
"This guy certainly can't launch it on Mars!"
Not to mention its extremely exaggerated recoil, even the abnormal demand for energy, it can instantly suck the fusion reactor of Mars City.
In addition, it is the extremely exaggerated power of the shell.
Compared with electromagnetic coil guns, electromagnetic rail guns have higher energy utilization efficiency.
Thanks to this, in the simulation calculation, the initial speed of the projectile reached 6,000 kilometers per second!
The shell speed of 6,000 kilometers per second, if any accident occurs, Mars City cannot withstand such a blow!
For safety reasons, the best way is to temporarily transform a Luanniao starship, install it on Luanniao Type 1 starship, and conduct a test launch in space.
"...Okay." A hint of disappointment flashed across Yevgeny's face and he nodded slightly.
When Lu Yongchang looked at the electromagnetic coil cannon that had not been assembled in front of him, the test prototype from the laboratory some time ago appeared in his mind.
It is also an electromagnetic coil cannon, but as a prototype, its power is not very strong, and the shell speed only reaches 10 kilometers per second.
Its main function is to provide sufficient experimental data samples to zero, thereby improving the zero algorithm.
Through that prototype, Lu Yongchang discovered a problem.
“It’s too weak…”
Lu Yongchang stared at the cannon barrel in front of him and murmured to himself.
"What?" Yevgeny looked at Lu Yongchang with a terrifying look on his face. "The 6,000 kilometers per second shell is not powerful enough?!"
"No, I'm not saying that the power of a single shell is not great enough." Lu Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and explained.
"I mean that in Star Wars, this weapon is not powerful enough."
With a metal projectile of 6,000 kilometers per second and a diameter of one meter, Lu Yongchang believes that even a second-level civilization, there are not many starship armors that can block this shell.
For starships that can be hundreds of meters or thousands of meters, unless they hit key parts, this minor injury will not affect the situation at all.
Unless... it really hits with a metal storm as he originally expected.
However, in this way, the cost of a war may exceed his imagination.
By then, humans will be just a wandering civilization. After 4.22 light-year journey, can they really have so many ammunition reserves?
Even if there is, such an attack method will only be used at critical moments.
Who will fight Landlords to start with the king?!
Lu Yongchang sighed slightly and briefly talked about his concerns to Yevgeny.
"Bang!"
Yevgeny patted his thigh hard and looked at Lu Yongchang excitedly.
"Professor, you said it earlier!"
"I have an immature idea, why don't you listen?"
Lu Yongchang looked at Yevgeny in front of him with a suspicious look on his face, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "You... tell me?"
Yevgeny's eyes were filled with excitement, and he said happily: "Professor, that's what I think."
"Since you don't think it's powerful enough, how about we transform these projectiles into small nuclear bombs?"
"Our technology should be able to do this at present!"
“…”
In the factory, it was quiet.
Lu Yongchang looked at Yevgeny beside him incredibly.
Is everything really possible?
However, after thinking about the incident in which the Soviet Union used nuclear bombs to extinguish fire and hydrogen bombs to eliminate nuclear pollution, Lu Yongchang suddenly felt that everything was explained again.
He twitched gently: "Professor Yevgeny, the explosion of nuclear bombs in space is not as powerful as that on Earth, you should know this."
Yevgeny didn't care about Lu Yongchang's objection at all. His upper and lower lips quickly flipped and continued at a very fast speed.
"Professor, we don't need that so-called shock wave to cause damage!"
"Don't forget, the fragments of the projectile explosion can also cause damage."
"In addition, there are nuclear radiation and electromagnetic pulses when the nuclear bomb explodes!"
A little bit of intentional expression appeared in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
I have to say that he was moved.
"Cough!" He coughed hard, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "This... wait for me to verify it. If possible, we can create a batch of projectiles containing micronuclear bombs."
Yevgeny's urgent voice rang: "Professor, don't worry, I have verified it with zero!"
As he said that, Yevgeny pressed the watch on his hand.
A holographic projection appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.
Looking at the detailed calculation process and simulation screen above, Lu Yongchang's eyes twitched again.
Good guy, this is here prepared!
"Zero." Lu Yongchang turned his head and said to the camera beside him, "How is the working condition of the mining robot on the earth?"
Zero's virtual image appeared aside.
"Professor, due to the environmental impact, only half of mining robots are still working."
"【Tower of Babel】 can no longer operate, and 【Jianmu】 can still operate normally."
Lu Yongchang's expression frightened.
Chapter completed!
